Island Lifestyle
Environment
The Islands are kept beautiful and clean by their strong anti-littering approach. The air is fresh and the water has been purified to drink. The islands have a modern infrastructure with paved roads. This makes transportation easily accessible and very convenient to the locals and tourists. There is a reason why tourism is the main source of the economy in the Islands. The Caymans have some of the most beautiful beaches. They are very clean and the water is always crystal clear. The best known is the Seven Mile Beach. This is a long stretch of powdery white sand along the West Bay. In order to preserve the natural beauty there are extensive marine park laws. The weather is another important factor to many who come to visit. From May to October, the average daily high reaches 85°F (29°C). This is also the rainy season but the showers are brief. From November to April, it is drier and much cooler, with average daily highs of 75°F (24°C).
